Hello,

I have access to about 10-20 PDFs that are experiencing this issue, and the 
problem seems to be growing.  I've tried the latest snapshot to see if it was 
something that may have already been address but I guess not.  Anyone have any 
ideas to help to at least detect the potential issue so I can make appropriate 
changes or even better a fix?

Cheers!

Matt

Subject: Re: [Swftools-common] PDF takes forever to process (possibly never 
finishes)

Hello everyone,

I have a PDF which I've generated from an AI file (using GhostScript).  I then 
want to take the AI file to SWF using PDF2SWF.  The problem is the file never 
finishes processing.   The only way I can get it to complete is to use "-O1", 
however, in a programmatic environment I cannot readily detect this scenario 
without the use of some large process timeout and then utilize the O1 
parameter.  Is it possible there is a bug here or some other optimal workaround?

Thanks for the info!

Cheers,

Matt.
